That’s actually what I plan to do. Except, that I will still encourage people to leave an iTunes comment, even if they don’t use iTunes. It makes THAT much of a difference.

Actually, I think that what Myles is saying is that rather than calling out ANY specific platform, SAY in your podcast specifically to “please leave a rating on WHATEVER platform you, the listener, use to access and enjoy the show”.

Thanks for listening Myles. That’s an excellent question and you are absolutely correct. We do offer links to Stitcher and our RSS feed on every blog entry, so people with other listening devices can subscribe. But you make an excellent point. I think I will start highlighting other podcast outlets in the shows.

FWIW, the reason podcasts emphasize iTunes is because it is the overwhelming majority of downloads for most podcasts and many small podcast producers (like yours truly) don’t have the bandwidth to effectively promote everywhere. So you put your emphasis on the big one!
